"Life Modding finds a way."

A toolset for blender allowing the import and export of models, textures and animations from Planet Zoo® and Jurassic World Evolution™.

• Supported Blender versions: 2.81+
• Get the latest release of the plugin here.
• To install the plugin with the addon installer in Blender, click Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... and select the ZIP you just downloaded.
• pyffi 2.2.4.dev3 must be installed to blender's bundled python directory. Open a cmd with admin rights and do the following steps:

C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.81\2.81\python\bin

C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.81\2.81\python\bin>python.exe -m pip install PyFFI==2.2.4.dev3

Alternatively, you can copy the pyffi folder from your system's python into the appropriate spot in blender's python folder.

• File > Import > Cobra Model (.MDL2).

• File > Export > Cobra Model (.MDL2).
• Select the source model, the exported model will be created in a subfolder called export.
• Model names are crucial; object naming convention has to be enforced. The object name suffix _modelX (with X being an integral number) determines which MDL2 model is targeted.

• Same model & LOD count.
• Fur shader fin generation is not functional for custom models, but stock fins can be edited.
• No shader or material edits with blender.
• No armature edits.
• No animation export. Animation import is limited to Banis files and only works on some files.

Not all model files are supported at this time. Some may crash on import or export. Even if they (seemingly) import and export fine, the result is not guaranteed to work ingame.
